For Newly Diagnosed Patients

We offer an array of educational and support resources, but sometimes new patients and their family members need materials that are custom-designed for their special needs and questions.

Envelope of Hope, PHA's free information packet for newly diagnosed patients, provides a patient-friendly overview of pulmonary hypertension and a brief snapshot of everything that PHA has to offer. Order a supply of referral postcards to keep handy in your office or clinic, or request a packet for a specific patient during his or her first appointment.

Videos and webinars for new patients include a recording of "Newly Diagnosed: What You Need to Know," as well as a series of short videos explaining PH, diagnosis, treatment, finding a PH doctor and finding support.
